Product Description:

Bullseye is a file launcher that goes where you go. Press its hot key and it appears directly under your cursor. Your applications appear within easy reach all around. Just move your mouse in the direction of the item you want and click.

What's new in this version:

Added keyboard filtering. Type a few letters when Bullseye's showing and it will filter the items to only those that have those letters in their names.

You can now set the Bullseye's background and accent colors.

You can now set the Bullseye's minimum and maximum size, or set it to a constant size.

Improved responsiveness for quitting, showing, hiding applications

The register reminder now starts relatively small so people can use bullseye more as it's intended, then grows gradually to remind people to register.

Trampoline Fantastic - Version: 2.3.3, 10/30/2008 01:14PM PST

I've felt ambivalent about the native Dock since it showed up - a love/hate relationship at best - but Trampoline is a fantastic alternative. Easy to use, easy to show/hide, easy to add/remove items from its circle - highly configurable and, unlike Dock, doesn't show up when I don't want it. The developer has thought carefully about its behavior and taken user choice into account at almost every turn. I recommend it as a great Dock alternative.

I want to make my comments more overt here. This program has significantly reduced my pending carpal tunnel problems. Instead of having to make numerous trips to the dock (or other program switchers), I programmed my center mouse button to pop up the Trampoline menu when I click it. It's a lot easier for me to traverse a small piece of screen realty to find what I want. This might sound trivial, but as I've gotten older, it has made a significant difference. (I've been using Macs for nearly 20 years.) In addition, the program is highly configurable and fast. If you tinker with it for less than a minute - and read the instructions that come with it - you will see that it is not at all difficult to configure and use. The developer has also always been prompt with replies and consideration of feature requests. This is a program one should check out before dismissing it as "yet another program switcher and launcher." I'll take it over the dock any day.

strange and unintuitive... not for everyone... bit of a software "gizmo" - if you like that sort of thing...
what's wrong with the dock anyway? I drag my app folders in to the right side of the dock - right/contrl click on the folder and voila, a menu of all your apps to choose from...
